The Importance of Breeds of Dogs
Dogs are considered as man's best friend. If one decides to get
a dog for a pet, one can choose either a specific breed
otherwise known as pure bred or choose one that is a mixed breed
or a mutt. There is not that much difference between dogs that
are pure or mixed. One simply came from parents of the same
breed while the other came from a family of two different
breeds.
Choosing a dog depends on many things. The size of your home,
how much exercise is needed, does it shed often or if you want a
gentle or playful companion.
Deciding to own one whether it is big or small involves a lot of
responsibility. It is not just about feeding it but includes
other chores such as grooming,

watching its health and diet,
cleaning up after it and most importantly, giving it some tender
loving care. There are many places one can get a dog such as a
kennel or the pet store but if one wants to get a pure bred
animal, one must seek a reputable breeder to get the best
results.
Breeding done in pure bred dogs is done carefully. The pair is
tested for every possible disease which includes having all the
information regarding the pair's ancestors and health records on
file. Should there be no problem in the history of the pair,
then the breeding can begin. If in testing, the pair is not
compatible due to diseases that are common in a specific breed,
another dog will be selected to match with the other dog.
Since the demand

for the breeder's pure bred dogs are well
sought after due to the selective nature of the breeding
practices, the newborn pups will still have to be raised with
the breeder and will only be released when a number of
pre-screened homes have been found. This is done for the welfare
of the select few of owners and to control population growth.
Reputable breeders have certain requirements that one must have
before qualifying as a potential dog owner. These are usually in
the form of written contracts or guarantees with a spay or
neuter requirement that limits the registration of the puppies.
The person who wants a dog must also have a secured backyard and
attend certain classes such a puppy kindergarten to be familiar
with the challenges one

will face come the time the dog has been
given. This shows that pure bred dogs are well taken cared off
from pregnancy till after birth.
Mixed breeds on the other hand or mutts as people call them
could have been done out of experimentation to produce a breed
which could be better and stronger than the two breeds. Most
likely, these were the results of accidents. This is the reason
why dogs of mixed breeds just like pure breds must be neutered
since millions of dogs every year that are not wanted by people
die in animal shelters.
Health wise, pure bred dogs that come from a line of strong
parents won't have problems. This is because breeders screen the
pair before the process happens. There have been instances that

breeders especially those dealing with pure breds do not
practice the strict guidelines of proper breeding which produces
inferior dogs and do this because these people are more
concerned about financial gain rather than the welfare of the
animal.
Mixed bred dogs on the other hand will fall somewhere in the
middle since proper screening was poorly done or never carried
out. Certain dogs carry varied deficiencies common to the breed
and mixing the two will just pass on to the mixed breed.
Some people prefer pure bred dogs than mixed bred ones. The
primary reason is that it is easier to sell and carries a
certain prestige with it. Mixed bred dogs are seen as inferior
and since no one is interested, most of these are rounded up

Pure bred dogs are seen as a higher class which is why they are
always featured at dog shows. Mixed dogs due to certain rules
are not allowed to join. The reasoning given has not been that
clear which is why it is still being contested by mixed breed
owners.
